User's notes

I do not have GPS data for this- I do know it was taken on one of the clumps of Iris pseudacorus around Fadden Hills Pond (Thanks to ebird lists and other photos adjecent to this), but I have placed the marker in the middle of the pond as I do not know which clump

Hi Roger
Thanks for providing the species name. However, you and Kim specified a number of sub-categories for moths, namely Anthelid moths, Emperor moths, Geometer moths, Hawk moths, Noctuid moths, Sun moths, Swift moths, Wood moths, and Other moths. So I don't know which sub-category to put the species into. Can you please tell me.

Its a Tiger Moth so should be in the category 'other moths' unless we can add more catergories
